To explore the memory advantage and the underlying mechanisms of bridge experts, this study conducted two experiments. Experiment 1 investigated the effects of the suit categorization rule and the rank ordering rule on the memory performance of bridge experts when memorizing hands. The findings revealed that the suit categorization rule significantly influenced the memory advantage of bridge experts, regardless of whether the task involved recognition or free recall. Conversely, the rank ordering rule had no discernible effect on their memory performance, though the honor card information within this rule notably impacted their memory. Building on the first experiment, Experiment 2 further examined the roles of visual familiarity induced by the suit categorization and honor card rules, alongside the abstract knowledge embedded in these rules, on the memory performance of bridge experts. The results demonstrated that visual familiarity influenced recognition among bridge experts, while both visual familiarity and abstract knowledge jointly contributed to recall performance. These research findings concurrently support both chunking/template theory and SEEK theory.
为探究桥牌专家的记忆优势及潜在机制，本研究进行了两项实验。实验1考察了花色分类规则和牌序规则对桥牌专家记忆手牌时记忆表现的影响。研究结果表明，无论任务是识别还是自由回忆，花色分类规则都显著影响桥牌专家的记忆优势。相反，牌序规则对他们的记忆表现没有明显影响，不过该规则中的大牌信息显著影响了他们的记忆。在第一个实验的基础上，实验2进一步考察了花色分类和大牌规则所引发的视觉熟悉度，以及这些规则中所蕴含的抽象知识，对桥牌专家记忆表现的作用。结果表明，视觉熟悉度影响桥牌专家的识别，而视觉熟悉度和抽象知识共同影响回忆表现。这些研究结果同时支持了组块/模板理论和SEEK理论。
